Learning IB skills in free time

I’m on a gap year, and have been developing my skill portfolio (along with the completion of a basic finance internship). So far, I have learnt some programming, practiced a bunch of logic puzzles/poker/mental maths (trading) and gotten good with Excel and PowerBI.

I kind of want something that will help me secure a place for IB or PE work experience - wether that be something to pass the CV screen or an interview skill.

I’ve got an offer at a strong target and my people skills are pretty good (have some leadership experience from my internship), but could be better.

What skill suggestions do you guys have?

Thanks
